Thank you again to everyone that came out to celebrate our 40th Anniversary last week. We were honored by the outpouring of love and support and enjoyed seeing all your faces and hearing your stories. Here’s to 40 more wonderful years ahead!

As a courtesy to our loyal patrons, we wanted to announce the dining room will be closed for dinner this Sunday, 10/18, for a private event. We will still be open all day in the pro shop for golf, driving range, lunch, and drinks with Amanda 😎

We look forward to serving you! 👨🏻‍🍳

THANK YOU to all that joined us for what was perhaps our most memorable Friday to date. You all showed up and celebrated in true Carmelo’s fashion.

Our 40th Anniversary Celebration continues tonight and tomorrow (Sunday evening) with half price apps, domestic taps, and old fashioneds and a special throw back Chef’s Menu, while supplies last.

Our hearts are full and we cannot wait to serve you again! 👨🏻‍🍳

40th Anniversary Celebration

When we decided to create this TBT post, we asked Maria and Peg to dig out some old photos… and they did NOT disappoint!

As everyone looked through these memories, there were plenty of laughs, lots of “Remember when…?” moments, and so many warm feelings reflecting on the people, stories, and good times that have filled Carmelo’s over the past 40 years.

These photos are a little glimpse into what makes Carmelo’s so special — the memories we’ve made together.

To all of our customers, friends, family, and staff: thank you for being part of our story and for helping make Carmelo’s the special place it is today. We’re so grateful for every laugh, every meal, and every memory.

Here’s to 40 years of looking back — and many more memories ahead!

We look forward to serving you 👨🏻‍🍳
